This paper presents the thermal characteristics analysis of a high-speed motor-separated spindle system consisted of angular contact ball bearings and built-in motor with oil-jet lubrication. The spindle system is composed of the main spindle and sub-spindle which are mechanically connected by a flexible coupling. The spindles are supported by two front and rear bearings, and the built-in motor is located between the front and rear bearings of the sub-spindle. The thermal analysis model of spindle system is constructed by the finite element method, and the thermal characteristics in the design stage are estimated based on temperature distribution and heat flow under the various testing conditions related to material of bearing ball, spindle speed and coolant temperature.

This paper presents analysis of dynamic characteristics of a high-speed milling spindle with a drawbar and a built-in motor. The spindle system with a built-in motor can be used to simplify the structure of machine tools, to improve the machining flexibility of machine tools, and to perform the high speed machining. In this system the shaft is usually assumed as a rigid rotor. In this paper, the modal characteristics of drawbar in high-speed milling spindle system due to supporting stiffness between drawbar and shaft and considering the mass and stiffness effects of the built-in motor's rotor are analyzed by numerical method. The result shows enough stiff supports must be provided between shaft and drawbar to prevent occurring drawbar vibration lower than the natural frequency of 1st bending mode of spindle. And considering the mass and stiffness of built-in motor's rotor is important thing to derive more accurate results.

The thermal deformation of a machine tool spindle influences the performance of the manufacturing systems for precision products. In this research, thermal analysis of a high speed machine tool spindle with the rolling bearing and the built-in motor is carried out by using Finite Difference Method. The thermal boundary conditions describing the heat generation in the bearing and built-in motor are considered in the simulation. And various convective boundary conditions are assumed with the empirical formula in the references. From the simulation results, the characteristics of each element affecting the dynamic thermal behaviour of the machine tool spindle system have been clarified. Therefore, this model can be well applied to the future development of the high speed spindle systems.

This paper presents analysis of dynamic characteristics of a high-speed milling spindle with a built-in motor. The spindle system with a built-in motor can be used to simplify the structure of machine tools. to improve tire machining flexibility of machine. tools, and to perform the high speed machining. In this system the shaft is usually assumed as a rigid rotor. In the spindle system design, it is very important to improve modal characteristics, and modal analysis is performed in the first place. Therefore in this paper, on the assumption that supporting bearings of spindle was selected most suitable condition, analyzed dynamic characteristics of a high-speed spindle according to its position. Optimal design was applicated to select most suitable position of bearings. Considered tile mass and stiffness effects of the built-in motor's rotor are analyzed by numerical method. The result shows the natural frequency of 1st bending mode of spindle.

The thermal characteristics of high-speed air spindle system with built-in motor are studied. Experiment and finite element method analysis obtain temperature rise and temperature distribution of housing. For the analysis three-dimensional model is built and temperature rise and distribution in thermal steady state are computed for each rotational frequency. Generally. It is said that the heat generation of air bearing is negligible. But it is certain that the heat generation of air bearing can not be negligible especially in high-speed conditions Frequency response test for air spindle system is executed. In case that the heat generation of air spindle system is high, natural frequency of the system becomes lower when it reaches thermal steady-state and it means that the stiffness of air hearing becomes smaller due to the change of bearing clearance. It is shown that the temperature rise of all spindle system causes thermal expansion md induces the variation of hearing clearance. In consequence the st illness of air bearing becomes smaller.

A new cutting force estimating approach and machining state monitoring examples are presented which uses a cylindrical displacement sensor built into the spindle. To identify the tool-spindle system dynamics with frequency up to 2 kHz, a home-built electro-magnetic exciter is used. The result is used to build an algorithm to extract the dynamic cutting force signal from the spindle error motion; because the built-in spindle sensor signal contains both spindle-tool dynamics and tool-workpiece interactions. This sensor is very sensitive and can measure broadband signal without affecting the system dynamics. The main characteristic is that it is designed so that the measurement is irrelevant to the geometric errors by covering the entire circumferential area between the target and sensor. It is also very simple to be installed. Usually the spindle front cover part is copied and replaced with a new one with this sensor added. It gives valuable information about the operating condition of the spindle at any time. It can be used to monitor cutting force and chatter vibration, to predict roughness and to compensate the form error by overriding spindle speed or feed rate. This approach is particularly useful in monitoring a high speed machining process.

Unsteady-state temperature distributions in the high precision spindle system with built-in motor are studied. For the analysis, three dimensional model is built for the high precision spindle. The three dimensional model includes the estimation on the amount of heat generation of bearing and built-in motor and the thermal characteristic values such as heat transfer coefficient. Temperature distributions are computed using the finite element method. Analysis results are compared with the measured data. Analysis shows that temperature distributions of high precision spindle system can be estimated resonably using the three dimensional model through the finite element method.
